Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind: Tasted blind. Earthy, perhaps slightly bretty, but maybe that's just the Cab Franc too pronounced. Some liked this more, but I didn't find it pristine.

This bottle was starting to show more aging than my previous bottles. It is starting to have the apple flavor which Bordeaux wines get when they are past their prime. Still enjoyable for me, but others did not enjoy it as much.

The wine is in great condition. Nice concentration of rich dark fruits. Leather, sous bois. Quite dark, inky in appearance and mouthfeel.

Still drinking nicely. Barnyard, leather and earth, bit of brett.

Past its prime, but still enjoyable.
The fruit has diminished, but so have the tannins.
Drink up!
